The NO BORDER CAMP IN BRUSSELS is set up in the tradition of No Border camps organised across the globe since the 90s. Neither a formal organisation, nor a normative frame, No Border is first of all a convergence of struggles and a meeting set in a particular moment, in a particular place.

As in Calais or Lesbos in 2009, it will be a free space dedicated to sharing information, experience or expertise. It will provide space for the preparation and implementation of actions aimed at smashing the borders that divide us all.

OUR BASIC PRINCIPLES ARE:

- Equal rights for everybody!- No borders, no nations!- Freedom of movement and settlement- No-one is illegal !

WHY IN BRUSSELS?

For 10 years, the European Union has been busy to build a Fortress Europe. It outsources its borders in Asia and Africa and makes use of border guard patrols, helicopters and ships through its Frontex agency (European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders). Moreover, its foreign policy now allows financing states from Ukraine to Morocco in order to have them performing its own work of "prevention" of immigration.

As the capital of Europe, Brussels is the symbol of this (anti) migration policy. By organising the No Border Camp there, we will question these European (anti) migration policies.

WHEN IN BRUSSELS?

- The construction of the No Border camp will take place from September 24 to 26- Activities and actions will start from September 27 until October 3 with a big demonstration on Saturday the 2th of October 2010.

During this one week we would like to see in Brussels swarm with a variety of activities around (anti) migrations policies and their consequences. The camp will be an opportunity to fight together combining different kinds of actions, but also to create common initiatives with a longterm vision. We invite all associations and individuals to participate the way they wish, by proposing activities or collaborations.
